You’ll Never Believe What ‘The Mountain’ Drinks to Get This Huge

He’s one of the strongest men in the world—and he takes his shakes very seriously

To Game of Thrones fans, he’s known as “The Mountain”—but his name is actually Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson, and he goes by Thor for short.

When he’s not decapitating horses with a sword on the show, the 400-pound Icelandic strongman is lifting 1,500-pound logs, carrying a couple of fridges, training to become the World’s Strongest Man of 2016, and documenting it all on Instagram.

Yep, that’s a plate of rice, greens, and chicken going into a blender and down his throat. (Or is it fish? Do we even want to know?)

Why? Björnsson needs an absurd amount of calories and protein to keep up his size, strength, and activity level.

He eats more by 9:30 a.m. than most guys do all day. His three morning feedings include 8 eggs, a steak, oats, sweet potatoes, avocado, fruit, nuts, greens, and supplements.

Apparently he gets so tired of eating that he sometimes dumps his meals into a blender to get it all down.

Björnsson himself doesn’t recommend that you try his diet plan (nor do we), but if you’re looking for a more appetizing way to pack nutrition into a shake, try one of these 20 Healthy, Protein-Packed Smoothie Recipes.
